July Inspirational Quotes

On occasion, when I read about the authors of the quotes I enjoy — as with July Inspirational Quotes, I realize I have little in common with them.

Our ideological views of the world are vastly different and sometimes even clash. However, there is a silver lining to this. Even with people who are not like me and who do not see the world through my glasses, I can still find common ground. Their words manage to reach me and to show me that even across the chasm of our views, we are still the same.

They are human beings — like me — we want to love and to be loved and to find happiness in a world which can be pretty dark.

That spark of humanity is all of us. Can we remember that?

July Inspirational Quotes

Letting go is to love yourself enough to look at the past with a different perspective. It is to accept that you can’t change the past, but that you can change whether your perspective poisons or nourishes you. ~ Steve Maraboli

I plead with you not to dwell on days now gone nor to yearn vainly for yesterdays, however good those yesterdays may have been. The past is to be learned from but not lived in. We look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes. And when we have learned what we need to learn and have brought with us the best that we have experienced, then we look ahead and remember that faith is always pointed toward the future. ~ Jeffrey R. Holland

Happiness, not in another place but this place…not for another hour, but this hour. ~ Walt Whitman

Is it possible for home to be a person and not a place? ~ Stephanie Perkins

The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. ~ Thomas Jefferson
